Question
When can I take Biktarvy?
30 January 2023. Related: All topics, Drug interactions.
Hi. I have started taking Biktarvy recently and I’ve looked on the Liverpool drug interactions site and looked on the packet information but I’m getting confused about the interaction between Biktarvy and Gaviscon advance. I was hoping you could clarify for me.
I believe that I can take Gaviscon no sooner than 6 hours before Biktarvy and no sooner than 2 hours after. So I take Biktarvy at 8am so the latest time I could take Gaviscon advance is 2am and the earliest is 10am and food doesn’t make any difference if I adhere to these times? Is this correct? Thank you
Answer
Hi, how are you?
To avoid the interaction. Biktarvy should be taken 2 hours BEFORE or 6 hours AFTER Gaviscon.
You are correct.
In your example, if your take Biktarvy at 8am. you can take Gaviscon at 10am or before 2am. You are correct that food does not make any difference.
Josh.
